Introduction: Previewing the Cinematic City / David B. Clarke -- Chinese Boxes and Russian Dolls: Tracking the Elusive Cinematic City / Colin McArthur -- City Views: The Voyage of Film Images / Giuliana Bruno -- Of Plans and Planners: Documentary Film and the Challenge of the Urban Future, 1935-52 / John R. Gold and Stephen V. Ward -- Something More than Night: Tales of the Noir City / Frank Krutnik -- Urban Confidential: The Lurid City of the 1950s / Will Straw -- Cinecities in the Sixties / Antony Easthope -- From Ramble City to the Screening of the Eye: Blade Runner, Death and Symbolic Exchange / Marcus A. Doel and David B. Clarke -- 'The People in Parentheses': Space Under Pressure in the Postmodern City / Elisabeth Mahoney -- Mainly in Cities and at Night: Some Notes on Cities and Film / Rob Lapsley -- Piecing Together What Remains of the Cinematic City / James Hay -- Maps, Movies, Musics and Memory / Iain Chambers.
The role played by the city is central to a wide variety of films. In everyday experience, cities frequently seem to possess a cinematic quality. Yet the relationship between city and cinema has been neglected in both film and urban studies. The contributors to this multidisciplinary volume have sought to remedy this situation by offering a detailed and wide-ranging look at the 'cinematic city'. Covering a diverse selection of films, genres, cities, and historical periods, the innovative and thought-provoking essays gathered together here offer numerous insights to those interested in cities, film, and their conjunction. By introducing some of the major dimensions of urban theory and film theory at the outset, the collection proceeds towards a detailed understanding of the cinematic forms most significantly related to the city - including early cinema, documentary film, film noir, 'New Wave' and postmodern cinema. The volume provides a wealth of empirical detail whilst drawing on the theoretical insights of Benjamin, Baudrillard, Foucault, Deleuze, Lacan, Lefebvre and contemporary feminism.
